*We are asking for a $3 donation to help pay for the paint and if you have some old paint brushes (house paint brush size) you could send with your child that day we would really appreciate it!  THANK YOU so much and thanks for already sending in containers to put the paint in!  We could still use some large appliance/furniture cardboard boxes as well.
